Bridger Aerospace (BGR, Bozeman) has secured a five-year USD18.6 million on-call charter contract with the United States Department of Interior to move personnel and cargo in Alaska. "Our expanded light fixed-wing fleet is ideally suited to meet the needs of the DOI and the State of Alaska, including providing safe and reliable access to remote locations throughout Alaska whenever mission requirements demand," chief executive Sam Davis said. The contract will begin on April 1, 2026, and continue until March 31, 2031. Its value can change based on the actual work performed. Bridger Aerospace is primarily a firefighting operator, but also operates a fleet of four Kodiak 100s, four PC-12-47s, and two Beech (twin turboprop) King Air 300s.
